This study investigated the effect of co-applying of Christmas melon rn(Adenopus beviflorus) seeds derived biochar and Pseudomonas rnaeruginosa on Corchorus olitorius yield . Soil samples were collected rnfrom an agricultural farmland in Ago-Iwoye. Adenopus breviflorus rn(Christmas melon) seeds were collected from farms in Ago-Iwoye and rnsubjected to pyrolysis to produce biochar which were modified with rnacid and base respectively. The experiment employed 18 pots in a rncompletely randomized manner. Treatments included control, acidic rnbiochar (BA), co-application of acidic biochar and Pseudomonas rnaeruginosa (BAPS), basic biochar (BB), co-application of basic rnbiochar and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (BBPS), and Pseudomonas rnaeruginosa only. The seeds of Jute plant were planted for the period of rn30 days in each of the experimental buckets after which the shoots, rnroots and biomass were analyzed to determine yield. Results showed rnthat the BBPs treatment exhibited the highest shoot yield, with a mean rnvalue of 44.92 cm, and the Pseudomonas (Ps) treatment had the highest rnroot yield, with a mean value of 21.18 cm. Biomass analysis revealed rnthat the BBPs treatment had the highest fresh and dry biomass, with rnmean values of 4.37 g and 3.04 g, respectively. The biochar and rnPseudomonas treatments resulted in significantly higher plant yields rncompared to the control, indicating a positive impact on plant growth rnand productivity.
